wish we had that here so our neighbours would have to cap the astonishing amount of light pollution they produce from lighting up their front and back like a city park during a festival. They are rich and dgaf.

When you are gone,
I hope 
there will not be
respectful mourning.
No words of kindness,
no adulation of greatness
Only the sound 
of a million sighs,
a wave of weary relief 
rippling around the globe,
like the giant bell
in that quiet fjord 
in Greenland.

When you are gone,
I hope
there will be no
Bronze statues
of your bloated form
for people to piss on,
erected in the ruins
of all you surveyed,
only footnotes
in history books 
saying "never ever again,
we meant it this time."

When you are gone,
I hope
We can finally agree that
avarice and greed
are the worst of the
seven deadly sins.
That little girls 
will not be blown to bits 
and that, we the people,
means all people
not just the rich 
and obscene.

When you are gone,
I will not 
shed a single tear
but rather, 
raise my face to the sky
and scream
so that all these sorrows, 
and incandescent anger,
all the helplessness
will leave me
so I can finally feel 
like a human again.

Some days I just wake up with a head full of words.

OK, this is wild.

In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.

It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.

What the HELL?

Canadian passports are about to get more expensive | CBC News The cost of a Canadian passport is about to rise and plans by Prime Minister Mark Carney's government to overhaul the way it sets prices could result in them being even more expensive in the future.

As a Canadian living abroad I already find the price to renew my passport obscene. Soon only the rich will be able to afford them.

I voted for @mark-carney.bsky.social & back many things he has done, but not his support of the US/Israeli war on #Iran. Yes, the regime there is a destabilizing force in the Middle East, but this war on it will only make the world less safe, rather than more. #uspoli #cdnpoli

Yikes. I am kinda envious of all the snow ( yes I know....but ) I miss east coast winters. However, I know you are all really fed up with it so I hope it ends soon and that spring comes with lots of warmth.

Help Rodney Taylor, a Disabled Double Amputee Being Held by ICE Rodney has been in the country more than 40 years. He's in solitary confinement in Georgia, being denied disability accommodations and having his medical needs ignored. He must be released.

This is Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s been imprisoned by ICE for a year.

He was about to get new prosthetic legs when he was kidnapped… and they won’t let him have them.

His health is declining & there’s been almost no media coverage.

No protests. No noise.

So ages ago back when Twitter was cool there was a guy named Dean who used to show pebble of the day. One day he also had a toothy pebble and I was inspired...

I a little toothy stone
you lift me from
my sea shore home
I bare my teeths
so sharp and whitey
munch your fingers
bitey bitey.

Stephen Colbert responds to CBS disputing his claims that he was barred from airing the James Talarico interview:

"And for the lawyers to release this without even talking to me is really surprising. I don’t even know what to do with this crap. Hold on."

He then picks it up with a dog poop bag.
